No. 10.— VALUE OF MANUFACTURERS' 

 RAW MATERIAL IMPORTED AND PER 

 [ CENT WHICH IT FORMED OF TOTAL 

 > IMPORTS, 1820 TO 1902 



Still another effect of this growth of 

 our manufactures has been an increasing 

 demand for the class of manufacturing 



the most remarkable growth has been 

 in the years since 1890, the total having 

 increased from 178 millions in 1890 to 

 327 millions in 1902, the gain in the 12 

 years since 1890 being nearly equal to 

 that of the 70 years from 1820 to 1890. 

 From the second group of lines it will 

 be seen that manufacturers' raw mate- 

 rials, which formed less than 6 per cent 

 of the imports in 1820, now form 36 per 

 cent of the greatly increased total.

 home, such as fibers, rubber, silk, tin, 

 chemicals and many other articles. This 

 diagram shows the increase of manu- 

 facturers' raw materials imported since 

 1820. It will be seen that their total 

 importation grew from 3 million dollars 

 in 1820 to 61 millions in i860, then 

 suddenly increased to 160 millions in 

 1880 and 178 millions in 1890 ; but that

This shows the value of manufactur- 

 ers' material imported in 1890, 1900, and 

 1902, and compares its value with that 

 of all other imports. It will be seen 

 that while manufacturers' material in- 

 creased, the other imports decreased.
